A little song for the good `ole USA
On this
The forth of July
The road to hell
is paved with good intentions
I am off to Jamacia for a few days
My sister, brother, dad and I are going there to take Mom’s ashes to a place she loved.
Mom went to Jamacia often with her life long friend Hanna..
They always stayed at the same place and over the years she developed many friends in town
On those occasions when I would join them
I was amazed that so many people in town knew her by name
and considered her a friend
And in a sense she will be re joining her friend Hanna once again
Hanna recently passed away and her family released her ashes to the gentle trade winds
of Ocho Rio only a few months ago
The two would hang around the beach in Ocho Rio, soak in the tropical sun…and drink like fish!!
and play in the water of course!
Sometime they would take us along
This was one of those times….
Alicia loves the beach
And mark found the culture and atmosphere of Jamacia
much to his liking
This is us climbing the falls at Dunn’s river
Now since i got back from Canada …it has rained Non stop here in Arlington!!
Thats all very nice for the plants and the lakes are finally full
And it has really helped me cleaning the crystals
But i was hoping for some good sunlight by now
to adequately photograph the new crystals Howard and I were so fortunate to have mined!!
Ok great I am going to Jamacia…
surely a fantastic place for sunlight and photography…
I can pack some crystals in a suitcase
and get some great shots in the tropical sun
and the crystals will like the adventure !!

Once again our paths cross in the synchronicity realm :coolman: Don’t know if you’ll have internet a yard, but you might wanna check this out when you return…a bit of Jamaicamericanism
It’s cool that your mom’s earthly remains become part of the land of Jah as she becomes one with the universe
